Baroque Holy Week

Join us on Saturday, April 1, at 7:00 pm and Sunday, April 2, at 3:00 pm at FPC, as Santa Fe Pro Musica continues their decades long tradition of Baroque Holy Week. Tickets available through Santa Fe ProMusica.

Stephen Redfield leads the Santa Fe Pro Musica Baroque Ensemble in uplifting cantatas and instrumental music by Georg Phillip Telemann and Christoph Graupner.  Delight in the artistry of soloists Michael Hix, baritone, and Kim Pineda, flute and recorder.

Most people are acquainted with Telemann, but less so, or not at all, with Christoph Graupner.  But consider in 1722 when the city of Leipzig interviewed candidates for music director, Telemann was first on their list and Graupner was second. After both musicians declined the position, the city offered it to their third candidate, J.S. Bach.  This concert will reveal why Telemann and Graupner were so highly esteemed during their day.
